Stand-up Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing
Notes: If making dressing up to 1 week ahead, cover and chill. (You can substitute 1 1/2 cups purchased dressing if desired.) To crisp romaine, trim root ends off lettuce, separate leaves, rinse, and drain well. Wrap in towels, slip into a plastic bag, and chill at least 30 minutes or up to 3 days. Up to 4 hours ahead, arrange vegetables in a bowl; cover with a damp towel, invert a plastic bag over vegetables, and chill.
